Yang Bo-Yao 楊博堯
Overview
楊博堯,1981年生於臺灣臺中,畢業於國立新竹師範學院美勞教育學系及美勞教育研究所創作組碩士班,作品曾獲國立臺灣美術館及毓繡美術館典藏。他擅長以象徵性的創作手法,將自身轉化為客觀物件來與外在世界連結,透過「樂高玩具人」將自我形象隱身其中,進一步以客觀視角來探討自身與社會環境的關連性,並反思當下的自我定位與存在價值。透過各種不同角色的扮演,引領觀者參與一幕幕詭異、挑釁又逗趣的超現實劇場。那些既熟悉卻又不合理的畫面除了引發好奇與質疑,也讓人們得以重新審視自我與社會的關係,以及日常行為背後所蘊含的文化現象與社會意義。
Yang Bo-Yao was born in 1981 in Taichung, Taiwan. He graduated from the National Hsinchu University of Education with a bachelor degree in Fine Art and Art Education as well as a master degree in Plastic Arts. His works have been collected by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and the Yu-Hsiu Museum of Art. He excels at using symbolic creative techniques to transform himself into an objective object to connect with the external world. Concealing his self-image within the "LEGO Minifigures", he takes an objective perspective to examine the nature of the connection between self and its social environment while at the same time reflecting on his current self-perception and existential value. By playing multiple different roles, Yang leads viewers to engage in scene after scene of surreal theatre that are somehow strange, provocative and yet amusing, all at the same time. Such familiar yet illogical scenes not only trigger curiosity and skepticism within the viewers, but also spur them to re-examine the relationship between self and society, as well as the cultural phenomena and social significance hidden behind every day behavior.

造景-楊博堯個展
LANDSCAPE: Yang Bo-Yao Solo Exhibition Apr 20 - Jun 1, 2024大河美術將舉辦楊博堯最新個展《造景》,繼藝術家前一檔個展《產地到餐桌》後,視角從生產線與供應鏈,轉為更為宏觀的當代議題。本展亦從人們常見於餐桌的食材作為視覺語彙的切入點,結合地質學與現今蓬勃發展的工業及數位科技所影響之人們的日常種種現象,揭開一場人與自然系統、科學與文化間的有趣思考。Read more
RIVER ART GALLERY is going to present the latest solo exhibition "LANDSCAPE" by Yang Bo-Yao. Following the artist's previous solo exhibition "From Place of Origin to the Table", the perspective shifts from the production line and supply chain to a more macroscopic contemporary issue. This exhibition takes common food ingredients found on dining tables as a starting point for visual vocabulary. It combines geology with the various phenomena of daily life influenced by the booming industrial and digital technology of today, uncovering an intriguing exploration between human beings and natural systems, science, and culture. -
再述的隱喻
The Metaphors of Restorying Feb 10 - Mar 31, 2023《再述的隱喻》集結8位藝術家,看似不同的表現方式,暗藏著許多不謀而合的隱喻,從童年記憶的講述,到自我價值與世代文化的反映,甚至對於生命及大環境的體悟,藉由作品的再詮釋,披著截然不同的敘事掛毯,說著你我皆可能面對的當代議題。“The Metaphors of Restorying” brings together eight artists whose seemingly different expressions conceal many coincidental metaphors, from the narrative of childhood memories, to the reflection of self-value and generational culture, and even the understanding of life and the environment. With the reinterpretation of the artwork, it is like to drape a tapestry of a very different narrative, speaking about contemporary issues that you and I may face.Read more
